Spiritual Coaching

I sure did, and do! I have had many teachers along the way to a full life of deep faith. We all need gentle guidance and support.

I offer active listening, gentle questions and tailored suggestions based on your own unique story, to help you on your journey.

We can work one-on-one or in groups. The first session is free, by phone, or in person in the Red Bank, New Jersey area. Use the contact me button and we’ll get you going!
